The Washington Mystics is a Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) team based in Washington, D.C., U.S.A. They started play in 1998, the second year of the WNBA and are one of the WNBA's first expansion franchises. Although the Mystics have had women's basketball legends Nikki McCray and Chamique Holdsclaw on their roster in the past, the franchise has had mixed success.
The "Mystics" are the WNBA counterpart to the Washington Wizards, but as of 2005 the two franchises are owned by different companies. The Mystics are owned by Sheila C. Johnson, co-founder of BET and ex-wife of Charlotte Sting owner Robert L. Johnson. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1077/is_11_58/ai_106700553
